Gravitas: With 4 days left for the games, Japan struggles as a host

Japan is struggling as a host of the Olympics. Athletes have tested positive at the Olympic village. A venue is "smelling like a toilet". A major sponsor has pulled TV ads & South Korea's President has called off visit Tokyo.

If all this was happening in India, the western media would have torn apart he management, the government, the sponsors, everyone associated and would have been so aggressive in doing it that it would have eventually tarnished India's image and the uproar would have been heard Indian parliament. But that wont happen here.

It may have been prudent to delay the Olympic's during a world wide crises with the CCP virus. One more year really is needed. Japan has the hardest job in the world right now. My prayers are with all athletes, their families and the host, Japan.

I liked the Olympics when I was young
and didn't realize it is so Political.

“A stinking venue overrun by oysters 🦪”. She straight body Japan 🇯🇵 with that one line - damn‼️

[vaagai]

This is probably going to be the most infamous Olympics till date.

We can just wish Japan good luck ig. Being a poor host is one of the worst things ever for a "developed nation". May they overcome such hurdles.

Though an admirer of Palki, I don't like to tone in which she is presenting Japan's crisis. We must be sympathetic towards Japan being a friendly country. Japanese being so humble and disciplined cannot be blamed for the spreading Covid cases at the venue. Any country would have faced the same situations. If Rishabh Pant is Covid positive in England, is English government of ECB to be blamed for it??

I love that she calls it the Wuhan virus. Best news channel hands down.

Chinese athletes might have carried their siblings(wuhan virus) to the Olympic village😂😂

[vishnuthakur]

No matter who says what, I fully trust Japan will conduct this olympic successfully. ❤ If Japan can't then nobody can. Love you Japan from 🇮🇳

And we all thought that only the UK and the USA were being governed by total idiots. It seems to be the case that the entire world is in a serious state of chaos the games are supposed to unite countries under sports instead its causing even more chaos.

Olympic is so politicised now that it’s not fun to watch anymore

[SachiraBhanu]

If someone can host an Olympic during this pandemic then only capable nation is Japan. 😊

[RakeshSingh-nhsn]

Educational institutions are closed since last year sure we can wait for entertainment & recreational activities. 😒

[newsfromchina]

The Tokyo Olympics will surely be a great success💪🏻
Keep the good work up Japan🇯🇵

[charlesyoung]

They are a proud people.If the Olympics can't be done perfectly they will be ashamed.The government should have waited

[tigerchhetri]

I’m basically from Nepal now living in Japan and I was also involved in that rally

[prashantshah]

I’m sure Japan will definitely defeat all such negativity and definitely will get praising success

[ChanahsCreativeEdits]

Japan so badly prepared for this. Not sure about Miss Palki's story about Olympic condoms earlier 🤷🏼‍♀️☺️
